15. Authorising the Board of Directors to make a decision on the purchase of the Company’s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board to decide on using the company’s unrestricted equity to purchase no more than 800,000 of the company’s own shares in one or several tranches, taking into account the stipulations of the Limited Liability Companies Act regarding the maximum number of shares in possession of the company and under the following terms:

The company’s own shares shall be purchased with the funds from the company’s unrestricted equity, decreasing the distributable profits of the company. The shares shall be purchased in trading on the regulated market in the Helsinki Stock Exchange, and therefore the purchase takes place by private placing and not in relation to the shares owned by the shareholders. The sum paid for the shares is the price announced on the acquisition day for Restamax Plc’s shares on the regulated market on the stock list of Helsinki Stock Exchange. The shares are purchased in trading organised by Nasdaq Helsinki Oy in accordance with its rules and regulations. The shares can be purchased for financing or carrying out possible corporate acquisitions or other arrangements, to implement incentive schemes within the company, or for other purposes decided upon by the Board of Directors. The maximum amount of the shares to be purchased is equivalent to approximately 4.8% of all the shares and votes of the company calculated using the share count on the publication date of the notice of the Annual General Meeting, so the purchase of the shares does not have a significant influence on the share ownership and the distribution of voting rights in the company.

The Board of Directors shall decide on the other matters related to the purchase of the company’s own shares.

It is proposed that the authorisation expire at the end of the 2019 Annual General Meeting, however no later than 18 months of the Annual General Meeting’s authorisation decision.

16. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting, revoking previous authorisations to issue shares, authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of up to 3,000,000 new shares, and on the assignment of up to 800,000 of the company’s own shares held by the company (“Share Issue Authorisation”).

The new shares can be issued and the company’s own shares held by it can be assigned in one or more instalments, either with or without payment. The new shares can be issued and the Company’s own shares held by it can be assigned to Company shareholders in proportion to the Company shares that they already own or, deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right, in a special share issue if, from the Company’s perspective, there is a justified financial reason for it, such as the financing or implementation of corporate acquisitions or other arrangements, development of the Company’s equity structure, improvement of share liquidity or the implementation of Company incentives schemes. The issue of new shares or transfer of the company’s own shares held by the company can also take place against apport property or by using a claim for the company held by the subscriber to redeem the amount to be paid for the issue price or the price to be paid for the shares. A special issue may only be arranged without payment if a justified financial reason exists in terms of the overall benefit of the company and all of its shareholders.

The Board of Directors shall decide on all other matters related to share issues.

It is proposed that the Share Issue Authorisation expire at the end of the 2019 Annual General Meeting, however no later than 18 months from the Annual General Meeting’s Share Issue Authorisation decision.
